The Collect Group Statistics Task for M365 Groups conducts an assessment of all groups in the source tenant and matching groups in the target tenant. It provides information like member count, planner count and planner task count for the groups selected in the source tenant, and optionally in target tenant if the group is already provisioned.

Each Collect Group Statistics Task generates events. Events are milestones that a task achieves as it runs. For example, when a M365 Groups Collect Group Statistics Task starts, an event is logged and it appears in the events list. When the number of groups that are selected for assessment is large, the M365 Groups Collect Group Statistics Task divides the total number of groups into manageable sets. Each set is called a batch. When a batch of groups is assessed, another event occurs.
